side mirrors

Hi Everyone,
We just bought a 2014 Wildwood x-lite 185br and need side mirrors. Does anyone have any suggestions on which to buy? So many choices!
Thanks!
Laura

I would suggest CIPA mirrors. Custom to your vehicle and slide over existing mirrors.

You did not list your tow vehicle, but I have a set for Tundra that I will ship to you
If you will pay the postage.

Thanks for the offer Dovetail! I guess they won't fit the Ram but will look into those.

I have the CIPA mirrors for my 97 f150. They work just fine. You will have to get used to looking at the extended portion while driving. It is just natural to look at the factory mirror first.

You could always get a set of replacement factory style towing mirrors.

Do you have the puddle lamp/power folding mirrors on your Ram? If so, you have to be careful which mirror extensions to purchase as they are very few options for the 2013-2014's. Also, if you go with OEM replacement towing mirrors, you will lose the functionality of the power folding option and may have to buy a wiring harness. Ramforumz.com or ramforum.com my provide you with a clearer explanation.

I also have the cipa mirrors for my 2012 ram 1500. They work great. Highly recommend. Quick setup. Easy to use and adjust

My tundra had regular mirrors on it.
Imused the CIPA mirrors, but sold the truck. I really liked them, i could see
behind the trailer some with them on.

Offer is good uo any one that wants them. They were on an 07 Tundra.
Know they fit other years but not sure of the range.

OK. Thanks. I have after market slide out tow mirrors which were not available on the limited edition tundra in 08. But they are hard to slide in and out. Thot you might have orig tow mirrors.
